Tyler Selph - Songwriter, Vocals - "You Gotta Have A Dream" by Tyler Selph copyright 2017 all rights reserved Lyrics below I posted this in an acoustic version a just over a year ago and the comments and listen count convinced me to do it in a studio format. This song is about domestic violence, spousal abuse, wife-beaters, abused women, or plane and simply........ men who hit women. Hopefully this song will inspire women who may find themselves in this kind of relationship. My advice... get out now... before it's too late..!

37 years Most of my tunes are on iTunes, Amazon, Google-Play, Spotify and others...

What was the first concert you ever went to?

Molly Hatchet and 38 Special in Lakeland Florida 1978.

What gear do you use?

I have over 40 guitars of all makes and models, I have tons of pa and recording
equipment and nearly every instrument you can think of.

What are you looking for from Fandalism?

Great music and good musicians to collaborate with.

Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?

Elton John/Bernie Taupin. Melody and lyrics like no other. My cousin John introduced me to his music with the release of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. What an incredible musical journey that album is.

Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?

I played in my first band out of Dallas, Texas called Frankie Cashmere and the Sweaters and we also had another name Flyer. Then I moved to Orlando and started a band called No Doubt. Of course we had to drop that name and then called ourselves I-51 which was the warehouse number we practiced in. In early 2000 I played occasionally with a group in Nashville called the Trailer-park Troubadours. Now i just write songs for others to perform and I sell them on YouTube.

If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?

I already have jammed with one of my favorites. Pat Traverse...
I'd also love to jam with Steve Miller or Roger Waters.

What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?

I played in Orlando at the grand opening of Mars music. That was where I played with Pat Traverse.

You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?

Steve Miller Band Greatest Hits. First heard it when I moved back to the States and my new friend Kevin introduced me to them. Just overall excellent music with well written understandable lyrics and great melodies.
